What We Believe But Cannot Prove

‰ЫПRather than saying that every possible universe exists, I‰ЫЄd say that there is a sequence of possible universes, akin to the drafts of a novel. We‰ЫЄre living in a draft version of the universe, and there is no final version. The revisions never stop. / From time to time, it is possible to be aware of this. In particular, when you relax and stop naming things and forming opinions, your consciousness spreads out across several drafts of the universe. Things don‰ЫЄt need to be particularly one way or the other until you pin them down. ‰Ы_ The start of a novel matches its ending; the past matches the future. Changing one thing changes everything. If we know everything about the Now moment, we know the entire past and future.‰Ыќ ‰ЫУ Rudy Rucker

‰ЫПWe have been told by wise men, lamas, and maharishis that it is supposedly all about moments ‰ЫУ to cherish the moment and never mind the continuance of time. But ever since childhood I have realized somehow that the beauty lies in the time before, the hope for, the waiting for, the imaginary picture painted in perfection of that instant in time. And then once it passes, in the blink of an eye, it will be the memory that stays with you, the reflection, the remembrance of that time.‰Ыќ ‰ЫУ Kai Krause
